Won't Stay Dead

Won't Stay Dead is a spooky, horror-themed punk rock band from Chicago, Illinois, that formed back in 2017 and locked in their current lineup by late 2022. They're all about that grungy horror punk vibe, blending macabre lyrics with catchy hooks and harmonies—think razor-sharp riffs and theatrics that make you wanna dance in a graveyard.

The crew dropped their debut full-length *Purgatory* in October 2021, followed by killer follow-ups like *3 Hits From Purgatory* in 2023, *Hellion*, *Window Shopper*, *Kiss That Severed Head Goodbye*, and their latest Red Scare Industries debut *Vindication* out December 12. Current members include Violet Staley on guitar and vocals, Saffron Lair on bass and vocals, Tyler Palermo on guitar, and Will Lange on drums, and they've been hustling the scene hard since catching eyes handing out flyers at Logan Square punk shows.
